Limited kits problems

[ChiefRyza]

Ok, I have seen some threads closed in this forum because the people posting the bugs are basically being told they are wrong. However, I've noticed, as another thread that got locked, is that it is very possible to have two LMG's per squad. By picking up the AR, then having the original AR spawn in, it is very possible to have any limited spawn kit (AR/Medic) within the squad. In turn, I have found this permanently disabled another squad's ability to request an MG for the rest of the round. Creating a new squad will not fix this either, as I read it does.

It seems that if somebody uses this exploit (which is incredibly easy to do), it removes the team's ability to request these kits after it has been done. I also witnessed a similar problem on Fools Road, where there was only 2 Medic kits able to be used on the Chechen rebels side. This has all been done on a normal, 64 player server, and the bug has happened on both Insurgency and AAS modes.

Agreed, my squad could not request the Medic kit on Qwai River - =Dam+ clan server tonight. Someone would try every few minutes for well over an hour and just got the squad limitation message. Getting the AR kit for a member worked OK.

We didn't think to check to see if another squad had 2 medics in it though.

We are keeping an eye on this one and trying to find out what is causing these issues.

Hi,

had the same problem last night. i was supposed to go medic but could not get the kit. we had 3 medics in team with 31 players. After my squadleader created a new squad i finally could spawn in as medic or request the kit from a crate.

I believe that if someone has a medic kit, requests another kit, and then keeps that, you won't be able to select the medic till they de-select the medic in their spawn screen. (I.E. When they are dead)

Yeah, that happened last night with me and my squad. I had spawned as a medic but picked up a squadmembers SAW after he died

1) Spawned as medic
2) Grabbed a specialist kit as we were being driven back and I ran out off ammo
3) We couldn't get a new medic kit
4) Squadleader executed me

I came to a similar conclusion yesterday when playing Al Basrah on thebattlearena server.

The squad had an APC, with two crewmen and the squad leader riding along. A fellow foot soldier joined the squad and spawned with a regular rifleman kit. No medics in the squad. I try to select the kit, but it says Choose Another Kit with the black screen and 6000 spawntime.

So, I'm thinking one of the crewmen in the squad spawned with the medic kit, then requested crewman. I suppose the system still thought he had medic. A small flaw with this new regulating feature of .86. '

There are certain individuals that would try to damage their own team for whatever frivolous purpose or purposes. And some people may accidentally create this bug, so it's quite important to get this problem's information and have it fixed.

Just thought I would get my SS's in for this bug. Have had a round where the whole team couldn't get a medic
